Today, my mother bitched me out for filing divorce papers against my abusive husband. According to her, it's a "slap in God's face". She's the one who's divorced two husbands so far because they weren't getting job promotions fast enough to support her hoarding habit. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered that my deceased mother, God rot her festering soul, wrote me and only me out of her will. All my other siblings are wealthy; I’m the only one in financial trouble after my divorce. And why did mom hate me so much? Because I’m divorced and God says divorce is bad. FML
Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML
Today, I had a double wedding with my sister. My mother, being as encouraging as she always is, told us that statistics say one of our marriages will end in divorce. She then explained she thinks it'll be mine because I'm "a self-absorbed bitch." FML
Today, I finally got a restraining order against my violent ex. My mom now keeps finding ways to tell me how shitty I am for breaking the "poor boy's" heart and how I didn't deserve him anyway. FML
Today, my daughter came over, furiously ranting that her husband had asked for a divorce. During the conversation, I asked what she did to make him happy. She glared at me and yelled, "It's not my job to make my husband happy!" I'm on her husband's side after that. FML
Today, I was called a "whore," a "demon," a "piece of shit," and a "disrespectful bitch." All of this happened because I wouldn't let my mother-in-law borrow my car. This is a woman with multiple speeding tickets. FML
Today, I informed my family of my plans to divorce my wife after catching her cheating on me twice. They bitched me out because I will not be able to survive financially or emotionally without her support. I'm a doctor. She's been unemployed for 2 straight years. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out and threatened to send me to a Bible camp, after catching me admiring a photo of a bikini model, which is apparently "immoral behavior." This is the same woman who cheated on my dad twice, justifying it by claiming the Devil tempted her. FML
Today, I found out that my husband, who I've just separated from, and my mother, who I don't speak to because she's crazy, have been bitching about me behind my back. FML
Today, my mother screamed at my boyfriend, calling him an "evil piece of self-centred trash". He's a sweet guy who does volunteer work for kids with learning difficulties. She's a bitter, passive-aggressive telemarketer who constantly harasses her own family with sales calls. FML

What she is saying is stupid too though?

Maybe she thinks hoarding and domestic violence are both parts of God's master plan. With theology like that, it's no wonder that atheism is America's fastest-growing religious preference.

Op's mother can justify it....in the bible it is acceptable for a husband to beat his wife if he thinks she disrespected/ dishonored him...got to love religion right lol As to the hording part, maybe the mother is just saving up for a massive donation to charity.

Oh really? Then how am I to understand these verses? ... Colossions 3:19 and 1 Peter 3:7.

Except in the prophecy of Jesus's coming, it says "forget the old ways, for I am making a new." Where are you citing your Bible, because if its in the Old Testament, its all null.

You did the right thing for yourself and your safety if your mom can't support you in that then that's her problem not yours.

He must make a lot of money. Sadly, that's all some people see. You're doing the right thing, getting away from him.

OP, don't listen to your mother. Do what you think is best for you. If it's divorcing an abusive husband, DO IT! Good luck...

It's sad your mom considers herself a perfect woman that can do no harm. Come to think of it she is the one that divorced 2 times and tells you getting a divorce is a slap in the face?? Tell her to go preach that to the choir. Glad you're getting out of the marriage you're in. Save yourself now before the abuse.continues.
